The Delekta Review

Opened in 1992 by Joan Escribà — son of the Escribà pastry family, whose Barcelona patisserie houses date back over a century Chef Jordi Cruz (★ Atempo, Michelin) cites Xiringuito as his favourite chiringuito in the city across multiple Metrópoli Abierta features in 2024

Pricing in the €€€ tier — Macarfi puts an average bill at around €40 per person before drinks Non-stop service through midday and afternoon; menu organised around rice, fish, and shellfish, with the Escribà pastry heritage carrying the dessert section

Paella de marisco — the chiringuito's signature, prawns + mussels + squid, cooked on the visible pans Fideuà — short noodle pan in the same Mediterranean register Arroz caldoso and arroz negro — the rice variations Jordi Cruz singles out Pulpo a la brasa — grilled octopus Pastry-led desserts — the Escribà family's other business, expressed at the end of the meal

Av. del Litoral 62 on Platja del Bogatell — beachfront terrace, big pans cooking on the sand-side, sea views and the open promenade behind
